🍵 World of Tea – Oxford Cartographers

A Global Journey Through the Cultures, Regions & Rituals of Tea

Tea is more than a drink—it’s a story that begins in the soil and ends in the cup. The World of Tea Map by Oxford Cartographers captures that story in rich cartographic detail, showing where tea is grown, traded, and treasured around the globe.

From the ancient tea-growing provinces of China to the lush plantations of Sri Lanka, from Japan’s serene tea ceremonies to Britain’s afternoon tradition, this map charts a world united by leaves, water, and time. It blends artistry with information, making it equally at home in a kitchen, a study, a tea room, or a café.

This is not just a map—it’s a celebration of flavour, culture, and connection.
